In an effort to bring some balance to the debate, however, I want to join the "what if?" brigade. We must ask what if action had been taken earlier, what if we had taken action in the Balkans, what if the EU and the UN had not procrastinated as much on these international issues and what would the result have been if they had not stood idly by? In yesterday's newspapers, we saw some of the 8,000 bodies – victims of that tragic day in Srebrenica – being prepared for reburial. The Americans later took action there when the UN had failed.
